How do you make tomato gravy out of tomato sauce, or the tomato sauce is the gravy?

This meatloaf is delicious! Please make the gravy, because, in my opinion, it really makes the meatloaf dish fantastic. A far cry from the meatloaf recipes I grew up with.

The meatloaf was very good. The tomato gravy not so much. Rather bland and tasteless. I will try chipotle ketchup next time I make this.

Too much salt. The strong flavors of the sausage don't require two tsps of salt as called for. Next time I would only use 1 tsp.

This was very, very good. Be sure to make the Tomato Gravy with it. I'm sure I'll be making it again. My guests loved it.

This was by far the best meatloaf we have ever tasted! After scouring the meat cases I found a sausage that I think was correct. (in small print on the package it said cajun) It was precooked and quite spicy. We love spicy but not to the point our eyeballs bleed. But all the ingredients together made for a perfect blend and not too spicy. I made garlic mashed potatoes with fresh thyme.The tomato gravy needed a little more flavor so I put in the slightest splash of worcestershire sauce....yum, much better. I also used my double meatloaf pan for easy draining. The most time consuming part about the recipe was cubing the sausage but I will make this recipe again! Delish!

I love a good meat loaf recipe. I substituted "hot" sausage links (out of casing) for the cajun sausage only because I couldn't find the cajun. My family thought it was the bomb! I will definitely make again!
